[QUOTE="Pickles JG, post: 6332659, member: 61501"] I am itching to try Planescape with FATE. :) I am playing a 4e game with my old friends which given our slow rate of play will be with us for a year or more then who knows? Half of them prefer 3.5 & are not keen on the "simplicity" of 5e. Half are reluctant to learn new systems or buy into yet more WOTC profiteering. Half would prefer a lighter game with more emphasis on making stuff up. I have just started a new 4e game as it was what most people (allegedly) knew. Our first session would have been better run in 5e but oh well. This will I hope run to autumn when the DM is due to have a baby... It's a new group though so has a 50% fail rate I reckon. After that who knows? 4e if it's a hit I expect. I also run a weekly google hangouts EotE game (which seems a common theme here). I think I might like to swap for 5e as it's D&D, which is easy to run, & the TotM style works rather better in hangouts than grids :) I hope to play 5e in organised play. I dabble in PFS but the system winds me up & DM quality is very mixed plus there are group dynamic issues &c . Meh 5e can't sort all of those out but it may energise & unify the D&D players so I can get into groups I like.... I am pretty unsure about 5e. It de-emphasises my favourite part of 4e - tactical combat & the best received parts are things I can get in other systems like FATE which seem to do it better. But it's harder to get a game of FATE.. [/QUOTE]
